Project Description

Dirac is a general-purpose video codec aimed at
resolutions from QCIF (176x144) to HDTV
(1920x1080), progressive or interlaced. It uses
wavelets, motion compensation, and arithmetic
coding, and aims to be competitive with other
state-of-the-art codecs. The Open Source
implementation provides a C++ library with an
encoder and decoder.

0.5.3

This is a minor release with algorithmic
improvements to motion estimation and chroma
fidelity and arithmetic coding. Decoding speed has
improved by 20-25%. The bitstream has changed, so
files encoded using earlier versions will be
incompatible with this release. Patches have been
provided to include Dirac support in MPlayer,
ffmpeg, and transcode (via ffmpeg). The DirectShow
filter released with the previous release (0.5.1)
is compatible with this release.
